To my beloved Vesta.

Miss, I'm a Pensive Protoplasm,
Born in some prc-lrstoric chrism.
I iri'l my humble fellow men
A. re hydrogen and oxygen.
And nitrogen, and carbon, loo.
And so is Jane, an 1 so are you.
In stagnant waters swam our brothers
And sisters, but we've manv others,
Among them animalculae,
And lizard's eggs — so, you see,
My darling Vesia, show no pride,
Nor turn coqurtti.-h head aside,
Our pedigrees, as thus made out.
Are no great things to boast about.
The only comfort teems to be
Is this — philosophers agree
That how a protoplasm 's made
Is mystery ou,vide their trade.
And we aro parts, so say the sages,
Of 1 ft come down from long pist ages.
So let us haste in Hymen's bands
To join our Pr toplastic h mds,
And spend our gay organic life.
A happy man and happy wife.
London Punch.

Relation.

By D. M. W.

Not a small part of the wisdom
possessed by men consists in ac-
quaintance with the connections
and dependencies of things. A
knowledge of isolated facts is of
little value. Unless we know what
relation one event bears to another
we might about as well be igno-
rant of both. One Mind has
formed the plan of the universe,

and in our world nothing can be
named so minute as not to form a
part of one stupendous whole.
Cause and effect are seen every-
where. A cause is that which
produces change; and while there
is one great First Cause, there are
multitudes of creatures, depend-
ent indeed for their own existence,
yet while upheld, truly causes in
their turn. We can create nothing,
but we can observe what is about
us, and thus enlarge our enjoy-
ments, and increase our power to
be useful.

Thousands of years have passed
since man was first formed, yet
we may be sure that only a begin-
ning has been made in exploring
the works of God. The relations
existing between things remain es-
sentially the same from age to age.
The "ordinances of heaven" hold
on their way, paying no heed to
what we call the "mutations of
time,'' and working out their re-
sult with unvarying exactness, and
a certainty which is absolute. The

laws of health and growth among
the several species in the Aegetable
and animal kingdoms, are the same
as at the beginning.

The violation of the order of
God's empire is what introduces
confusion and occasions distress.
Our ignorance of a law we violate
can not shield us from any part
of the penalty. The lad, who ig-
norant of the relation between fire
and gunpowder, should throw the

arnirig plump oi a cigar into an
opened barrel of powder, would
suffer the same as if he had
planned the explosion. Political
economy has its laws, and the
Darty ignoring those laws must
suffer in consequence. To com-
plain of the issue would he child-
ish. We see statesmen of opposite
parties contending still about the
wisdom or the lolly of a protective
tariff. We do not infer from this
disagreement that there are no
fixed relations existing between
trade and commerce on the one
side, and national prosperity on
the other. A 1 we infer from such
discordant conclusions is that the
subject is one of difficulty, and
that the work of discovery pro-
gresses but slowly. Invention is
but the application of a formerly
unknown or neglected principle.
The propositions of Geometry
were as true before as after their
first demonstration. ''Kepler's
laws", as they are called, were a
discovery, but their use is
manifold, and open to all. "Science
from whatever motives it may be
prosecuted is in effect and in real-
ity an inquiry after God." An
Humbolt and Tyndale may indeed
in exploring nature have found no
place for a God: but such men
have labored and we are entered
into their labors. If wisdom in
artifice reflects honor upon the ar-
tificer, then the more thoroughly
nature be explored, the more of
glory will redound to Him "whose
nod was nature's birth and nature's
shield the shadow of his hand."

It is in the domain of morals

that the study of relations is most
interesting. Relations there ex-
ist— law rules. Speaking figura-
tively, we may "affirm of morals
what was long1 ago declared of
matter — "-God hath ordered ail
things in measure, number and
weight." If authors on Moral
Science as Dymond and Paley
differ in respect to the principles
which should regulate conduct we
must not marvel, since the chemist
even dealing in dead matter, has
but made a beginning in the work
of discovery. Right and wrong
never exchange places, Moral
distinctions are immutable. What
men sow they reap. Ill choice in-
sureth fate, and there is no escape.
To be carnally minded is death, we
are told, while to be spiritually
minded is life and peace. There
is that giveth and yet increaseth,
and there is that withholdeth more
than is well, yet it tendeth to pov-
erty." Let any one attempt to
search out the proof of these
statements, and he will find an in-
teresting work on his hands. If
there be difficulty connected with
such investigations the comprehen-
sive views obtained will amply re-
pay him. Let him to the extent
of his power prove all things, and
then hold fast to that which is
good. It is a good tree which
bears good fruit, and on the other
hand a wicked law, or vicious in-
stitution grinds out its grist of
cursedness, whatever may be the
opinions or prejudices of men
about the matter. To write "good
anger' on the devil's horns changes
not the nature of the fiend. To

3

make the whiskey traffic legal,
abates not a drop from the deluge
of woes with which it floods a
land. It was sometimes said that
slavery was from God; but slavery
wrought out its legitimate results,
cursing the very soil that bore it
up, and its end was as a devour-
ing flood.

The history of an age is proph-
ecy of that which is to come, just
because like causes are at work.
The man may be predicted from
the character of the boy. A
thorough knowledge of currents
and cross-currents of the present
time would give us great skill in
predicting the future.

Scottish Prsy.

BY A.TRAMKNTUM.

The history of Scotland is one
which can be read only with the
deepest interest, resembling as it
does, a fairy tale or work of the
imagination, more than a chroni-
cle of the words and achievements
of men mortal a» ourselves. Every
plain, every hill and mountain,
every glen and valley, every stream
that winds its way among the
banks and braes of the Highlands,
every lake nestled among the hills,
and every rock and crag has its
own peculiar history, and many
traditions and legends of exploits
done hard by connected therewith.

As regards its scenery we know
it is unsurpassed in grandeur;
and since even to aliens it seems
so enchanting, we can not wonder

at the boundless love and burning
patriotism which, it is plain, has
ever characterized the Scot. And
again, since romantic scenery, and
a chivalrous knighthood are the
favorite inspirations of the muse,
and love and patriotism the prin-
cipal objects of her attention, we
need not think it strange that the
followers of Erato have been many
and gifted in "Auld Scotland."
As long ago as the times of Caesar,
we read there were numerous har-
pers among the then barbarian
inhabitants of the unknown island
the Romans traveled so far to sub-
jugate, who by their fierce, ani-
mated music, accompanied by in-
spiriting battle songs, moved the
arm of the warrior to do deeds,
and win victories which caused
the ruthless invaders to tremble
and be astonished at the wonderful
courage exhibited by their adver-
saries. Nor in the piping times
of peace was the minstrel placed
aside as were the implements of
war, for his services were then
demanded to cheer the quiet which
his harp had assisted in bringing
about; for the ancients were as
susceptable of being moved and
excited by the songs of their na-
tive land, as our soldiers of twelve
years ago were of being inflamed
with patriotic zeal and undaunted
courage, by hearing the army band
play '"Rally round the Flag,''
"Hail Columbia'' or "Yankee
Doodle."

Aa Scotland advanced in refine-
ment, she attracted the attention
of the reading world by her num-
ber of vigorous, original poets, as

much as she did 'he attention of
trie world of chivalry bv her con-
tinued and noble efFoits for inde-
pendence. James the First, of
the unhappy family of the Stuarts,
was, as is generally conceded, the
most brilliant poet of the fifteenth
century. The disasters and mis-
fortunes which naturally befell
him as a Stuart — for fate was
againstthat family — seemed rather
to brighten his mind than other-
wise. His works, although writ-
ton before the invention of print-
ing, were widely read and
applauded. lie was, in his age,
the moon, aud the rest of the
poets but satellites. Next came
Gawin Douglas, brinerinsr with
him such poetry as we might ex-
pect from a Douglas, strongly
expressed, warlike and yet softened
at intervals by the soft touch of
love. No wonder is it that so
long as Scottish minstrelsy existed,
the language of Douglas was
treasured away as household words
in the hearts of his countrymen.
Robert Iienryson, and Blind
Harry had also the disadvantage
of living at the time when the pen
was the only printer of books, and
for this reason we know little of
them; but the chronicles of the
time say they were bright and shin-
ning lights in the galaxy of authors:
especially is mention made of the
touching pathos of the latter 's
poems. At the dawning of the
sixteenth century dawned the
genius of another, who, had it not
been for the unfavorable circum-
stances surrounding him, would
have been classed with the"favored

few." As it is, William Dunbar
is called the "Chaucer of Scotland,"
and compared withnone of his coun-
trymen save Burns.

The beginning of the 17th
century found Allen Ramsey,
writing new songs and re-writing
old ones, thus aiding very materi-
ally to place Scotland far in ad-
vance of the rest of the world in
this kind of poetry, according to
Hallam. Again, the 18th centu-
discovered a youth named James
Thompson, in a retired portion
of Scotland, making his first
obeisance to the muse. Seasons
will be no more when his master-
piece, "The Seasons," will be
forgotten. James McPherson, who
claimed to have collected fragments
of verse while traveling in the
Highlands, calling them the works
of Ossian. although undoubtedly,
he himself was the author, was a
Scot. Of all queer, weird poetry
it is the strangest, and has elicited
the admiration of all reading it.
Next in order we find Robert
Burns, nature's truest, simplest
and yet profound poet; be, upon
upon whom the mantle of all the
great poets preceeding him, fell,
combining to make him as perfect
as it is possible to become in the
sphere in which he moved and
labored. Taking him from the
plow on to the time of his death,
he has undoubtedly done a life's
work for which the literary world
cannot be too grateful. Although
a reckless man, he wrote many
poems the very models of purity.
He is the pride of Scotland, the
one whose words are engraved on

tablets more enduring than ada-
mant— the hearts of all his coun-
trymen. But little below Burns
in worth and reputation as a poet
stands Sir Walter Seott. who nob-
ly sustained his country's fame in
both prose and poetry. His
works present a commingling of
all styles, and are particularly
noted for the force of diction
easily apparent in them.

These we have mentioned ; re
but a very small part of those of
whose poetic genius Scotland is
justly proud •. for scarcely a ham-
let nestles on her bosom, unless
it holds green the memory of
some ''follower of the muss." The
great secret of the irresistable at-
traction lurking in each line of
the poetry of Scotland, is the per-
fect simplicity of the style, treating
of objects which nature's observers
and students in that clime find
around them everywhere. Un-
hampered by the stiff style obtain-
ed by the neglect of the study of
nature and too close study of books
elsewhere so prevalent, they tell
their story in the unaffected ryth-
mic language of every day peasant
life, and not in the formal lan-
guage of a court, striving rather
to find an entrance to the heart
than to be admired through its
beauty. Yes, when wearied with
care and fatigued by labor, it is
not to the pages of a Milton, Young
or Pope that we go for a release
from our situation ; but O Scotland!
it is the incense of thy songs that
relieves our condition, and makes
us forgetful of the rest of the
world.

Well does Sir Walter Scott in
the ''Lay of the Last Minstrel,"
apostrophize his native land in
this manner;

0 Caledonia! stern and wild,

M< et muse fur a po •lie ehild ;

Exchanges.

Wo have several new visitors
on our exchange list this month,
and these we welcome right heart-
ily.

Carter & Wester, two Athens
boys, "throw out upon the tissue
wings of the breeze the first num-
ber of the Monthly Sunbeam for
public favor; a paper in its com-
position that will he entertaining
ana instructive to the snow haired
as well as the young fastidious and
gay." Brothers in the journalistic
race, you have succeeded in your
attempt; for undoubtedly your
journal is entertaining. May
the edifying rays of the Sunbeam
penetrate everywhere.

The irrepressible T. T. Mc-
VVhirter of Athens has issued the

first number of The ffiwassee Re-
porter at Calhoun Tenn. Success,
long life and prosperity to it.

The Cnlhye Sibyl, a quarterly
edited by the Senior Class of El-
mira Female Seminary, is replete
with well written articles. Let no
one say that Ladies are not able to
fill the editorial chair with credit
to the profession.

2 li e J fa ry r ille Repn Mica n"' has
been changed to its former' size,
and has discarded its patent oat-
side and is printed entirely at home
now. By these changes its worth
has been doubled.

We have received the following
exchanges this month:

Lafayette College Journal. Col-
lege Journal, College Sibyl,
Oberlin Review. University Month-
ly, Maryville Republican, Inde-
pendent, Athens News, Hiwassee
Ke porter, Chaiata Leaflets, Sun-
beam.

We decided not to publish any
January number, but instead of
so doing issue a double one for
-May. We think this will better
as there Mill be a deal of Coin-
men cement news, and we will
need more room.

We would call the attention of
the public to the advertisement
of John T. Anderson who has
recently set up a book store in our
town. Those who desire anything
in his line will do well to give
him a call before going elsewhere,
and our students especially should
patronize this enterprise.

Rhetoricals.

Profs. Sharp and Crawford and
Miss Clute have monthly debates
in their Rhetorical Classes thus
increasing the interest materially,
Prof. Crawford's Class occupied
the Chapel at the last public ex-
ercise and showed that it is a
strong class. First came die de-
bate on the question; "Resolved
that the warrior has done more
wood than the statesman."' "W. H.
Franklin, G. S. Moore and G. A.
Cochran affirmed it, and J. T.
Gamble and G.C. Stewart denied.
The speakers reflected credit upon
themselves, teacher and class.
Then I. H. Anderson delivered an
oration on the subject. '-Be a
man,'' giving healthy advice in a
pleasing manner. "What shall
we read?" was a question pro-
pounded and answered eloquently
and sensibly by J. W. Rankin.
Then Messrs Clemens and Garner
delivered declamations. In Prof.
Sharp's class, at the last debate.
"Are Roman Catholics Christians''
Avas discussed with considerable
warmth.

Miss (Jlute's rhetorical class
liave hud a debate on "Which is
the greater privation, deafness or
blindness?"

Cn the 16th, notwithstanding
the rain and mud, a goodly number
came together to the social in the
Chapel, and the gloom without
was soon forgotten, serving only
to make it more enjoyable within.

Pros. Bartlett delivered an ad-
dress on ''The relation of the
Public Schools to every day life,"
before the Blount County Teach-
ers' Institute, in session at Mary-
ville February 3d. It was a mas-
terly effort, well received.

Married, at the residence of the bride's
mother, in "Weston, Mo. , on the 25th of
Jan., by Rev. P. J. Burrus, Mr. John
M, Currier, of Maryville, East Tennnsse.j,
and Miss Lizzie T. Brady,

Mr. Currier and bride arrived in
Maryville on the 80th of Feb.
Both having formerly been stu-
dents of the college, this news
created quite a sensation. The
happy couple are located in
Maryville, enjoying their "honey-
moon" hugely. The best wishes
of The Student for their future.

Thirty Chinese boys, who are
to be educated at Hartford, Con-
necticut, and Springfield Mass. are
on their way to these cities fro m
San Francisco. They are to re-
main fifteen years for completion

of their education.

The new chapel at Oberlin gives
much satisfaction to the students
there.

Advanced sheets of the cata-
logue of Lafayette show 335 in
the college course.

_ The Northwestern Inter-Colle-
giate Association represents fifty

Yanderbilt University, Term.,
has five hundred students, and is
the largest medical school of the
South.

President Clark of Amherst
Agricultural College has been in-
vited to found a similar institution
in Japan, and will sail for that
country about the first of June.

The Ladies seem to be coming
forward as orators, and showing
that they can not only fill that
place well, but that the other sex
will have hard work to keep ahead
or even up with them. At the
Ohio oratorical contest at Spring-
field, at which nine colleges were
represented, the only lady con-
tending, Miss Laura' A. Kent of
Antioch college bore off the first
prize. The second was won by
Thomas F. Day of Ohio University.
The next contest will be at
Oberlin.

Bainonian.

'•There is nothing new under
the sun," saith the preacher, but
the students have been treated to
something as novel as interesting.
The Bainonian Society gave a
public exercise on the 25th of this
month. A large audience — larg-
er than has attended any previous
society exercise — crowded the
college chapel to running over.
The Society was called to order
by the President, Miss Cora Bart-
lett, and the minutes read by the
Secretary, Miss Biddle. Miss
Grade Lord as declaimer was the
first to appear before the house.
She delivered her piece, "My
Ship," with great clearness of e-
nunciation and with effect. Next
also as declaimer, Miss Lizzie
Brown ascending the stage, recited
"■Dolly Sullivan,'' well meriting
the applause she received. Then
Miss Nellie Lord favored us with
a composition in German. Some
of the old gentlemen on the back
seats thought that she did not pro-
nounce distinctly enough! Next
on the programme was the discus-
sion on the question "Should
woman be allowed to preach?'
The debaters were,

Affirmative; Negative;

Sallie Henry, Mary Bartlett,

Sara Silsby. Belle Porter.

Rarely has a debate engaged
the attention of its audience more
than did this one. The speeches
were not only bristling with argu-
ment, but also couched in the fin-
est of language. The decision
was awarded in favor of the Neg-

ative. The Bamohian Review, tie
organ o1 the Society, was read by
the editors Misses Maggie Henry
and Mollie Biddle. Much of the
paper was of real literary merit,
and all were unanimous in pro-
nouncing it well written. The
whole exercises were interspersed
with music.

Since the Seniors have received
their "walking- papers'' from the
Rhetorical exersise, they are real-
izing more than ever before that
they are nearly at the end of the
college curriculum, and are pre-
paring their farewell salutes to be
delivered to us at Commencement.

Cupid was as busy as usual on
Valentine's Day sending out
dainty little missives, bordered
with roses surrounding still
prettier verses about admiration,
friendship 'and love. Of course
Memorial had its share, and many
a smiling face could be seen as the
contents of these notes were read.
A few of the more fortunate ones
received not only notes with loving
words, but were also favored by
the senders with their photographs.

liev. Mr. Heron of Knox Co.
delivered a deeply interesting lec-
ture in the chapel, Wednesday
evening, the 23d. "Intellectuality
and Godliness" wTas the subject of
the discourse, which was listened
to with close attention by the stu-
dents and many of the town people,
stored as it was good things.
Would that we could have lectures
more frequently than heretofore.

10.

Animi Cultus.

On the 27th of January, the
Atiimi Cultus Society had their
public debate and paper. The
debate, on the subject ''Resolved
that Poverty is a Blessing," was
arranged as follows:

Affirmative: Negative:

J. E. Rogers, | G. McCampbell,
R. H. Coulter. | J. B.Porter.
After an animated discussion it
was decided in favor of the nega-
tive.
The paper was then read by the
editor, Mr. Harris, and was
attentively listened to by the
crowded house.

The 28th of January being the
Day of Prayer for Colleges, the
regular exercises were laid aside,
and the day left free for apropri-
ate public meetings and private
prayer. At ten o'clock there was
an interesting meeting in the
chapel, led by the President, and
at three the young men and ladies
held separate meetings of prayer.
At night, also, there was another
meeting, at which the President
delivered a short sermon.

Since the Day of Prayer, nearly
every day, either in the chapel or
at the rooms of the students, short
prayer-meetings led by the Presi-
dent or carried on entirely by the
students, have been kept up, from
time to time varied with short dis-
courses by the President.

And now Base Ball has been
resuscitated, and at its shrine bow
many lads enamoured with the
entrancing pleasures it bestows
upon its devotees. Every favor-
able afternoon finds an eager, ex-
cited crowd on our magnificent
grounds willing "to live and die for
their king'' Base Ball. On Satur-
day, the 26th an interesting game
was played between the Reckless,
a club just organized with George
S. Moore as Captain, and the In-
dependent Clubs, resulting in a tie
of 39 to 39. More games on the
docket. Students can find no
better exercise than on the ball-
ground.

Henry L. Heffron.

Another one of our former fel-
low students, touched by the icy
finger of Death, on New Year's
day was entrusted to the tomb.

Sudden and saddening was the
intelligence that H. L. Heffron,
who but a few months before, had
seemed so happy with his young
bride, had been called away. He
came to us from Michigan, "a
stranger in a strange land," in
1872, and left in 1874 to teach
school in Cade's Cove. Here he
won an estimable young lady, and
located as teacher of a school hard
by. His life is somewhat veiled
in mystery. Little or nothing is
known of his history before his
arrival here. He came and went
quietly, aud was of a retiring
disposition. Possessing a good
mind, he stood well in his classes.
